I’m a creative practitioner working as an artist, curator, researcher, and educator; with a focus on collaborative practices.

Collaborative creative practices

My work is inherently social and community-engaged; I often work with communities of geography, identity, and interest to co-produce creative projects. I focus on presenting work outside of institutional spaces, in the public realm, and more recently, in rural contexts.

Currently I co-direct an artist-led space on a Cornish cliff top, Rame Projects; work as Education & Engagement Curator at Harbour House Art & Wellbeing Charity in South Devon; and as a freelance artist-researcher nationally. In 2020 I completed my practice-led PhD titled ‘Poor Copy: Fan Practices and Producerly Art Making’, funded by the University of Plymouth; this work continues to inform my arts practice and engagement with transformative practices, community-led archives, and popular culture.
